JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii --  The Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Integrated Defense Antiterrorism Plan was signed by Navy Capt. Stanley Keeve Jr, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam commander (JBC) and Col. Randall Huiss,15th Wing commander, June 4 here.

According to Lt. Col Juan Silva, 647th Security Forces Squadron commander, the integrated defense and antiterrorism plan covers all areas of responsibility that falls under the JBC and the 15 WG/CC. As the JBC is responsible for base operation support to the entire installation and the 15 WG/CC commander as the sole responsibility as the senior airfield authority, the mission sets of protecting air and sea power must be synchronized.

"This plan allows stakeholders and my Security Forces team at the authority of the JBC and in coordination with the 15 WG/CC to execute their security intent," said Silva. "It leaves nothing to be guessed by stakeholders or my forces.  My forces are trained and now have good doctrine to operate under." 

According to Master Sgt. Russel Raymundo, noncommissioned officer in charge of integrated defense for the 647th SFS, the JBPHH IDAP provides requirement guidelines and procedures for implementing Integrated Defense and Antiterrorism strategies. It establishes a standard blueprint to defeat a myriad of threats, safeguarding personnel, critical resources, and weapon system platforms. 
He continued by adding, the plan provides clear, concise and executable strategies to support warfighter needs while maintaining security on the installation. 

"The plan, that has been three years in the making, it is the first ever Joint Integrated Defense Anti-Terrorism Plan to be completed and signed between the JBC and the 15 WG/CC," said Raymundo. "It is a significant milestone for JBPHH and reflects the on-going security synchronization across the Joint Base ensuring the people and critical wartime assets are protected."

After signing the JBPHH IDAP Huiss said, "I appreciate all the work that went into the IDAP. It is great to see joint signature documents like this that are moving the joint base structure forward."

Keeve ended the ceremony by thanking everyone who helped create the IDAP for their hard work.
